Computer-assisted qualitative data analysis software (CAQDAS) is a well-known acronym in qualitative research. Nowadays, qualitative researchers are inclined to apply such software for various purposes. Critiques of the use of CAQDAS in qualitative research focus on the term “analysis”, claiming that that the tool does little to analyze data. According to these critiques, some users of CAQDAS a...

Use of the grounded theory research method (GTM) is increasing across many fields of inquiry. Understanding the GTM and how to apply it is therefore a key task for researchers examining the possibility of using this method in their research. Since its introduction by Glaser and Strauss in 1967, GTM has evolved into two major streams, and there has been a continual debate about the choice betwee...

We seek to conduct a comprehensive investigation of the dynamical mechanisms of vertical coupling over topography. • To construct a realistic model of the potential vorticity (PV) distribution on density layers across the Gulf Stream, generated from high-resolution density and velocity observations. • To demonstrate evidence of vertical coupling between the upper and lower layers in a hypothesi...

[1] A map of north–south subkilometer-scale slope asymmetry on Mars obtained from statistical analysis of along-track MOLA topographic profiles reveals welldefined zonal belts of north–south slope asymmetry at 40–50 latitude in both hemispheres. In these narrow anomalous belts the pole-facing slopes are systematically gentler than equator-facing slopes. This asymmetry is especially pronounced f...

The southwestern Ryukyu area east of Taiwan Island is an arcuate boundary between Philippine Sea Plate and Eurasian Plate. The topographic features in the area are characterised by (1) a large-scale amphitheatre off Ishigaki Island, just on the estimated epicentre of the tsunamigenic earthquake in 1771, (2) lots of deep sea canyons located north of the amphitheatre, (3) 15–20 km wide fore-arc b...

Introduction: A wide variety of midto highlatitude surface features on Mars has long been attributed to viscous creep and flow phenomena associated with near-surface ground ice. On the basis of Viking Orbiter images, Squyres [1] identified two classes of creep-related landforms: (1) softened terrain, which results from in situ viscous deformation and is particularly evident in impact craters wi...
